Spurgeon was a
noted British Baptist minister who preached to throngs of souls at the
Metropolitan Tabernacle in London, England (which held a total capacity of 6000
people, including Standing Room only). Greatly blessed by the Holy Spirit,
his success and worldwide popularity were due in large measure to a genius
intellect, natural gift of oratory, thoroughly biblical expository messages,
along with the fervent prayers of his congregational Tabernacle members.
